Hi 👋 I’m Maxine.
My primary motivation in life is to help create a world where people can flourish and prosper, and where they themselves can contribute to that goal. I dedicate myself to (1) improving educational access and outcomes, and (2) fostering community, because I believe these are the two strongest influencers that inspire and support individuals and societies.
Other things: I love organizing, helping my friends succeed, and optimizing my health for performance and longevity.
